Disability Rights NJ is Hosting Virtual Public Input Listening Sessions in
June

What disability issues matter most to you?

Disability Rights New Jersey's mission is to protect, advocate for and
advance the rights of persons with disabilities in pursuit of a society in
which they exercise self-determination and choice, and are treated with
dignity and respect.

We need your input to help understand the needs of the disability community
and help us establish our goals and priorities for the next three (3) years.

   - Are there topics missing from the conversation of Disability Rights?
   - Do you wish certain issues were given more attention?
   - Do you have suggestions on what we can do to support New Jerseyans
   with disabilities against abuse, neglect, and discrimination?

Your feedback will guide our work and help us create a more inclusive world
for people with disabilities.

Do you want to host a focus group?

This year, we want to solicit input from the disability community directly
at forums across the state to gain more insight into what issues matter
most. We invite you and your community to assist us with this process by
hosting a focus group, either in person or over Zoom, to help us determine
our priorities for our legal and advocacy work.  We believe these decisions
should be based directly on the experiences and input from individuals with
disabilities, family members and those who provide services and support.

We hope you will consider our invitation to host a focus group. In the
event you are unable to host a focus group, we would greatly appreciate if
you could distribute a flyer

HOW WE HELP
[image: Logo Square for Social.png]

Disability Rights New Jersey, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to
advancing and protecting the human, civil, and legal rights of people with
disabilities.

   - We aggressively investigate reports of abuse and neglect wherever a
   person with a disability may be receiving services.

   - We thoroughly monitor facilities and community-based programs to
   ensure that people living in those facilities and using those services are
   free from abuse and neglect, and that their rights are not violated.

   - We provide legal representation, without charge, to people with
   disabilities in cases that fall within our priority setting process.

   - We are dedicated to providing education, training, and technical
   assistance to people with disabilities, their families and advocates, the
   agencies that service them, and policy makers among others.

   - We provide state-of-the-art access to information and advice about
   assistive technology.
